Mr. Palindrome, in his ongoing quest to find decorative items for our house "that pop," has often told me that if I bring one more beige thing into the house . . . then he'll dot dot dot. sometimes it involves making me return said item, never sitting on our couch again or wearing colored contacts so at least something isn't brown. I think I'm going through a phase. It's just all so clean looking. Beige matches everything. I can add colorful accents on whim and quickly change the entire scheme. Color screams commitment to me and I'm a bit timid right now.

This week's collection features that old standby favorite of mine, the lovely neutral and a few ways to a touch of color to the palette. Personally, I'm adding blue dishes and green accents to the chocolate and beige table cloth I ordered for our Thanksgiving table. Oh, and the legs of our table are slightly muted farmhouse red. See, something that pops.

Those pedestal dishes are lovely! I'm a sucker for ruffly and fluted things.

Have you considered centerpieces yet? If you haven't, I vote for doing pomanders. They smell awesome, and oranges and pomegranates together in a bowl would add some really great fall colors to your Thanksgiving table.
